Boreas

S4,616
FreezeAnti-HealingEternal Icehaven

With good single-target damage, regular AoE freezes, wide range, and a strong ultimate, Boreas is rather good even on his own. Benefiting from the support of freeze units such as Marri or Ai, however, makes him really stand out. With the extra freezing from others, his anti-healing and bonus damage stats start to show through, making him great as a DPS and control mage.  While not god-tier on his own (especially since he was nerfed), Boreas is one of the better mages and, when well-supported, can be great.

Builds

Before GR-19

Attack, speed and some Crit Chance should be enough to progress past this stage.

Calamity
Night Terror
Main Stats: atk / atk / atk
Priority: spd > crit_rate > atk_flat > crit_dmg

GR-19 - GR-21

The goal here is to obtain over 90% Crit Chance whilst maintaining high speed and attack.

Warlord
Soulbound Arcana
Main Stats: atk / atk / atk
Priority: atk_percent > crit_rate > spd > crit_dmg

After GR-21

Cataclysm should be used if comparable to your Soulbound Arcanca. HP% is desired as survival can become difficult.

Wicked Vengance
Cataclysm
Main Stats: atk / atk / atk
Priority: crit_rate > spd > crit_dmg > hp_percent
